A UPS cargo plane crashed in Louisville, Kentucky, after an engine detached during takeoff, killing all three pilots and 12 people on the ground. Investigators found UPS did not require detailed inspections of a critical engine part, even though Boeing had recommended it years earlier, because Boeing had said the part’s failure would not affect flight safety.
Key Facts
The UPS plane crashed in November 2025 at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport.
The engine separated from the plane during takeoff, causing the crash.
All three pilots and 12 people on the ground died; 23 others were injured.
Boeing had recommended detailed inspections of spherical bearings inside engine pylons years before the crash.
UPS did not require these detailed inspections because Boeing said bearing failure would not threaten flight safety.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating the crash and may release a final report late this year or early next year.
Inspecting the bearings requires removing the engine due to their location inside the pylons.
Officials from Boeing, UPS, the FAA, and a maintenance company acknowledged they underestimated the risks of bearing failure.

The U.S. government announced it will not renew the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), a trade deal originally negotiated by President Trump during his first term. Instead, the U.S. plans to seek new trade agreements with Mexico and Canada while the current deal remains in effect for now.
Key Facts
The USMCA trade deal replaced the older North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
The deal runs through 2036 but can be ended earlier by the U.S. if needed.
U.S. officials cited trade deficits and issues with the current agreement as reasons for not renewing it.
The U.S. Trade Representative hosted a review meeting with Mexico and Canada on the agreement's operation.
President Trump originally called the USMCA the best trade deal made by the U.S. but has since criticized it.
The administration said it will continue talks with Mexico and Canada to create new trade deals.
The decision came on the day a key review deadline for the USMCA was reached.
The current USMCA remains active until a new agreement is made or the deal is ended earlier.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has set a July 10 expiration date for work permits held by immigrants under Temporary Protected Status (TPS). This action follows a Supreme Court ruling that supports the Trump Administration’s decision to end TPS for people from several countries, including Haiti and Syria.
Key Facts
TPS protects immigrants from deportation and gives them permission to work temporarily in the U.S.
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that courts cannot block the government's decision to end TPS protections.
DHS set July 10 as the date when work permits for TPS holders from 7 countries (including Haiti, Syria, Yemen, and Somalia) will expire.
TPS affects about 1.3 million people from 17 countries who currently live in the U.S.
The Trump Administration argues that conditions in those countries have improved enough for people to return home.
Many TPS holders work in essential areas like health care and hospitality.
Lawmakers and employers warned that ending TPS could hurt the economy due to the loss of these workers.
TPS does not provide a path to permanent legal status or citizenship.

NCAA President Charlie Baker said the organization will keep following its current rules on transgender athletes even after a recent Supreme Court decision letting states ban transgender participation in school sports. The NCAA bases its policy on the federal rules set by President Trump’s administration, but states can make their own rules for high school and youth sports.
Key Facts
NCAA President is Charlie Baker, a former Massachusetts governor.
The NCAA follows the transgender athlete policy created by President Trump’s administration in early 2024.
This policy bans transgender women and girls who were assigned male at birth or on testosterone therapy from women’s sports teams; men’s teams have no restrictions.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states can ban transgender athletes from girls’ and women’s sports without breaking federal laws like Title IX.
States have different rules: some allow transgender athletes in girls’ sports, others ban them.
Very few college athletes are openly transgender—fewer than 10 are known to the NCAA.
Baker said having clear, consistent federal policies helps schools avoid confusion in sports eligibility decisions.
The NCAA will keep its national standard but recognizes states will set their own rules for younger sports levels.
